FOOD COMPOUND.

No Drawing.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ari-ni- Dixox Van- NER, a-citizen of the United States, residing, at Los' Angeles, in the county of I os Angeles and State of California, have in vented new and useful Improvements n Food Compounds, of which the following is a specification.

My invention and food compounds.

The object of my invention 18 produce a palatable, easily digestible, nutr1t1ous food compound in which the nutrient properties of legumes, fruits, cereals, vegetables and nuts are combined and blended, and properly balanced to produce the highest degree of discovery relates to nourishingefiiciency with 'a minimum of waste or inefiicient ingredient. A further object thereof is to produce a blended compound in which the ingredients are prepared to aid the digestive process and to avoid fermentation and the formation of gas or toxic poisoning which disease the alimentary canal and the whole human organism; and a still further object thereof to produce a compound in convenient form for immediate use or preservation, containing in proper proportions a coagulated partially dextrinized mass of protein, carbohydrates, ash, and fat properties of legumes, lentils, cereals, fruits and nuts that produce heat and muscular power-forms of force and energy.

Another object of my invention is to produce a simple and etficient process for preparing and intermingling said ingredients for a convenient marketable product, to be digested'without difiiculty, and to produce its assimilation into nourishment to supply the demands of the human body.

To these ends my invention comprises the combinations of component ingredients-and process of preparation to be hereinafter de-. scribed and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

My compound comprises, generally, a quantity of legumes, such as beans, peas, etc., which are .rich in protein properties. Either or all of said legumes may be employed as preferred. These ingredients are prepared as hereinafter described and have .commingled therewith fruits and cereals such as raisins, figs, prunes, currents, apricots and pears, etc., crushed whole wheat, corn and rice to provide the elements of carbohydrates, ash .andlheat; raisins-f figs,

flavorings of onions, parsley, celery, dande-.

lions or chives,\ etc., to suit the taste.

Ii -the preparation of my food compound, legumes such as-Tbeans, peas or other plant products whit-hare rich in protein properties are soaked in two changes of water for approximately one hour each and thereafter boiled in a sufficient quantity of water for approximately six hours and then steamdried from three to four hours at about 220 Fahn, thereby extracting the excessive crude fiber from the coating thereof which is likely to cause flatulency, and reducing the same to a digestible, amalgamated, coagulated mass. The meal of the whole grain of wheat, rye, corn. rice or oats, which has been previously thoroughly steam cooked, is added in the desired quantity-to reduce the mass to the preferred consistency, and tla-vorings of onions, parsley or celery may be used in small quantity to suit the taste. For the purpose of combining the element of fats, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and olive oil, or either of them, may be thoroughly pulverized and commingled therewith. Raisinsand. figs, the former being seeded, and both uncooked. are thoroughly macerated and combined with pears, currants, apricots, prunes and apples, or either of them as preferred, containing natural fruitsugars, are now added to-the mass to act and operate as a preservative, and to enrich and enliven the liver, kidneys and spleen,

thoroughly niacerated and boiled for approximately ninety minutes, and thereafter strained to obtain only the oils, essence and juices without the pulpy'refuse. which prod uct contributes peptones and quinine to strengthen the digestion and prevent malaria. The compound thus described'having been thoroughly intermingled may now be pressed into eakes or forms and subjected to a' dry heat at about 200 Fahr. until properly dried, which action tends to more thoroughlycommingle the elements of the composition, and reduces the product to a compact form ready for immediate use .by school childern, soldiers, sailors, miners, cattleherders,'toilers, explorers, tourists, travelers, ,automobilists and aeronauts.

..I will now describe the proportions of the several ingredients employed in my amalgamated food-compound to obtain the 'in weight of the whole ;--while the fruits containing fruit sugars that are trans- ,formed into fats comprise about thirty- -fi v'e per cent. and the nuts and lentils containing fats and highcalories of heat com- :pris'e about ten per cent. of the compound,

the flavorings and citrus fruit extracts above described containing high degrees of ash that produce phosphates, lime, etc, ap-

- proximately five per cent. of the whole. It

' -"-From the foregoing it will be apparent essential lilended and balanced proportions for the nourishment of the human body with the will of course be understood that the proportions stated may be modified as the neces'sities of tastes and fiavorings demand without departing from the scope of the invention, .in preparing thediflerent break- ;fast food in solvent lunches, desserts, soups,

niacaroons,=breads, cakes, etc, to meet the demands and necessities of use.

that the food-compound contains all the ingredients and elements in Copies of this patent may be obtained for minimum of refuse and fermentative ingredients, prepared in such 1113151181 t0 b preserved without deterioration and readily digested and assimilated into the elements of the body.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to be secured by Letters Patent, is

1. A food composition ade, ted ior 1m? mediate eating comprising a di'ied mass 0f legumes, lentils, cereals, fruitsand nuts, previously macerated, and intimately commingled, substantially as described.

2. A self adapted for immediate eating comprising an amalgamated dried mass oi. cooked legumes, lentils and cerealsuncookcd fi'lfi fi containing sugars, the extract of boiled citrus fruits, macerated nuts, intimately (3011b mingled and evaporated, put up in liquid form in air-tight packages, or compressed preserving food compo tion into a solid form, substantially as described.

3. A self-preserving foodcomposition adapted for immediate eating oomprisin. an amalgamated mass of legumes, built and cereals, which have b n separately cooked at a boiling temperature, and hereafter commlngled, uncooked fruits, the Q3 tract of boiled and strained whole citrus fruits, macerated nuts, intimately commingled and evaporated at a temperature of ap roxiinately 200? ,Fahr. and compresse into a compact form, substantially as described.
